Two Vraoedies.

; HARPER, Kan, June 4.-Our city was
thrown into intense excitement this
morning by two distressing incidents.
Two of Onr most prominent and re-
spected citizens were found dead, one
by his own hand and the other by acci-
dent. About o'clock in the morning
Hon. George D. Thompson was found
in an clubhouse at his residence with
44.caliber bulldog revolver in his hand
and bullet hole entirely through his
head, the bullet entering at the right
temple and passing out ct the left. His
wife heard the report of the revolver
and called a neighbOr, but Mr.. Thomp-
son was dead. Before the dread news
had been fairly circulated, a report came
that A. +. Skinner has been suffocated
in the gas vault of the opera house, and
in few moments his dead body was
carried out of the vault where it had
laid since the night before. He had
gone into the vault about 6 o'clock in
the evening to arrange the fixtures and
the gas had escaped in such quantities
that he was sutfocated at once. Both
were young men of about thirty years
and both very prominent in public af-
fairs,

A Woman Acquitted.

LITTLE VALLEY, N. Y, June 4.-The
jury in the case of Mrs. Mary Wileman,
ON trial here for the murder of her hus-
band, retired at 10 o'clock last night.
Mrs. Wileman was Frustrated during
the night, and it was with the greatest
difficulty that she walked into the court
room this morning. She was accom-
panied by her two sons. Mrs. Wileman
looked pale and haggard and trembled
violently when the jury filed into the
court room at o'clock this morning.
Judge Lewis wore an anxious look upon
his face. Last year he was called upon
to.sentence Mrs. Wileman to death, she
having been found guilty on her first
trial. ''Guilty or not guilty, asked the
court this morning. ''Not guilty." said
the foreman. Then shout arose. Mrs.
Wileman tainted, and her counsel car
ried her out of the court room. The ut
most excitement prevailed for several
minutes. There were cheers within the
court room and without on the streets,
where great crowd had collected.

A Cold-BIooded Murder.

MILWAUKEE, June 4.-The particulars
of tagic death at Buena Vista, Wis,
have reached Stevens Point. Frank
and Theodore Scheiber, Charles SUIT
heimer and Charles Holte have been
jailed on the charge of numbering AL
bert Buelow, Portage county farmer.
BuelOw and his daughter had induced
one Mary Scheiber to live with them
and were supposed to be inveigling her
into diSSOlute life. The Scheibers
made vain efforts to induce her to return
home, and finally Wednesday evening
when going home with Augustus
Buelow. took her forcibly from
him. The Buelows got her away
again that night. AT 9 p. m. Thursday,
Buelow's dog barked necessarily and
Buelow finally seized the butcher knife
and started out with his daughter, who
says he ran to the end of the porch
when he was met by several rifle Shots,
three balls passing through his head
and charge of buckshot entering his
body, killing him instantly. Mary Bue-
low says she recognized by the flash of
the rifle Theodore and Frank Schriber
and Charles Sutheimer positively and
saw at least twenty men and boys whom
she didn't know. The three former

THE CHICAGO MARKET.
The Clique Has a Strong Pull ON
the June Option.

Special to the Globe
CHICAGO, June 4.-June wheat was
bid for stoutly at the opening at 9O}5c.
Ihe receipts were about twenty-five
cars over the estimates, but about one
third of it did not grade. There wasno
wheat in either by the Alton or Rock
Island, which shows that the Joliet
wheat has not started yet. One feature
of the pit is that there is scarcely any
selling of the June option by anybody
except by houses identified with the
clique, which is an evidence that there
is no more wheat left anywhere that
would show profit, transportation
paid, at 92c at Chicago for June. Rosen-
field d Co. were again sellers of
June, apparently in scaled order,
those who applied for it at 9O1zc got it
apparently up to 250,000, perhaps to
100000, bushels at each &c advance.
The crowd looked for raising of the
price from the start. 1t is quite clear
the clique is advancing very quietly its
selling prize for the June option. The
ayidity with which the offerings at each
limit are taken is a surprise to those
who have held out on the theory that
all wheat short nOW,waS against ..actnal
grain in the country" July wheat was
SS66113 @S7c.5 The market was Yoracious-
enough for June wheat to put the price
to 9214c in spite of Rosenfeld'S selling.
The clearingS of wheat from New York,
227,0O0 bushels, were large enough to
keep July steady. The buyers of June
were Boyd, Paxton & Boyd, Orr d
Comes, p. B. Weare d Co., and the
other houses which have most stub
bornly stood out. They were to bring
the cash wheat in to deliver ON their
June contracts, not the ordinary No. Q
spring wheat, either, but the No. hard
Northern wheat. which they held in
country against their sales. Whatever
it was that decided them, they were
taking their medicine from Rosenfeld'S
hands to-day. Some of them paid 92c
for June. They'd have paid good deal
more, but this clique has been an ac-
commOdating body; no brutality about
them; no hoggiShneSs, either. A fair
living proft-perhapS 10 cents bushel
on the bulk of their purchases-waS
about what they asked. As for July,
people who don't shut their eyes can
see that the selling of July win be as
injudicious as the selling of June. The
clique has done very little buying of
July, and no bulling of it; but it is so
far along now that it would not be easy
to sell their cash wheat for July without
a sacrifice, and the first guess would be
that they will be in July to bull that
market before long. This market is
leading the advance, but the others are
on the move now. New York was up
to csc for June and 96c for July. Toledo
was up to 9015c for June; even st. Louis
was up to S65sc. July here hung around
SIC, and closed near there.

HELD FOR SWINDLING.
The Doings of A. r. Powell Given
an Airing.

Special to the Globe
OMAHA, Neb., May "A. T. Powell,
the Tracy, Minn., man who was az
rested on charge of Swindling the
Commercial National Bank of Omaha
out of $500, was given a preliminary
hearing last night in the municipal
court behind closed doors and curtained
windows. Only the lawyers ON both
sides were present. The state offered
in evidence number of Autographed
letter-heads of the Citizens National
Bank of Tracy, Mimi, on which were
written letters of credit granted to j. A.
Powell, and signed A. }. Powell, cash
1er. The letters stated that the Citizens
bank would honor the drafts of J.-F.
Powell to the amount of $4,000, and re-
questing the persons honoring the drafts
to indOrSe the amount on the back.
These letters were denounced by the
state attorney as one of the SlickeSt
and most audaciouS schemes for SWind-
ling ever seen. Evidence was then
produced to show that the Citizens Ma
tional Bank of Tracy was a myth. and
that Powell paid $500 of the amount
received to one j. j. Hardigan
of Minnesota for the alleged purpose of
avoiding criminal prosecution for the
swindle committed in Iowa. kilograms
were received from persons whom
Powell had said would vouch for him,
among them being one from d. Stafford,
Tracy, June 3, saying: "Have seen A.
I. Powell; knew nothing about him be-
fore he came here, and tried few
schemes which did not work.'' From
Auerbach, Finch u Van Slyck was one:
''Only know Powell through the recon-
mendation of the Bank of Tracy, who
thought he was worth $4,000" The
Bank of Minnesota wires as follows:
-. J. Hartigan claimed to be his part
ner in the bank. Hartigan is said to be
worth $4,000. Powell skipped. Will
write" G. Ill. Jessup & Co., of Tracy,
telegraphed: mo Citizens bank in
Tracy; no partner, never has been only
talk" Powell was remanded to the
grand jury with bail fixed at $4,000.
Powell's wife is daughter of Edward
II. Cults, of Faribault. They were mar
ried eight months ago.

MATAMoRAS, Mex, June 4.-The par
ticulars of the late action between the
Mexican cavalry, under Col. Nieves
Hernandez, and the Mexican bandits
recently driven from the Bolsa cutoff
by the aid of the civil authorities of
Texas, has been received. The bandits
numbered twenty-eight and are believed
to have been under the command of
IaZaro Ayala, well-known bandit
from the state of Nuevo Leon. Col.
Hernandez had divided up his men to
pursue them, and as his men had un-
Saddled to take supper at the PontrerO
ranch, they were attacked and fired on
from the woods by the bandits and one
man killed. Hernandez at once Saddled
UP and, with his little force, started
were 0vertaken, and another action oc-
CURED, the bandits beating Off Herman
der with the loss of three men wounded,
he being wounded in the hand by bullet
which struck his carbine and glanced
just as he was loading it. The plucky
colonel, with but eight effective men,
still hung on the trail of his foes, and
reinfOrcements arriving he again struck
and surrounded them, capturing, it is
said, fourteen, who were Immediately
executed. The rest are being hotly
pursued, and cavalry from all quarters
iSclosing down ON ,them.. 1t is reported
that case of rifles was sent to these
men by the revolutionary party in
Brownsville, and it is known that most
of The men captured had two pistols and
new Winchesters. After many years
the authorities are working in unison to
break up the bandits which infest the
cut-offs along the border. If the United
States congress would take some action
to permit the Mexican cavalry to be used
by the sheriffs to aid them, it is possible
that the banditti, who have for forty
years infested this frontier, could be
permanently exterminated.
